Storm the Castle pt2 by vanZeben

made by vanZeben for LD33 (COMPO)

You like fire? Me too...

Let's see how many heads you can set ablaze with that torch!

Finish a level by burning some idiots, advance once you've burned enough of them to the ground!

----
Wasn't really into the theme, had competed in "You are the villain" back in ld25 for my first LD (http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-25/?action=preview&uid=16535), so it was funny to see the progress from then until now and I gave it a bit of homage... Spent the majority of the time playing around with the atmosphere of the game since I didnt want to go with the themes everyone was bound to use.

WASD/Arrow keys to move, space to smack a bitch with your torch!

I liked your game, controls where a bit hard to get used to, but it was ok. Nice game!

I was really confused what was hitting me(was it the head of the people I sat on fire setting me back in fire?) it looked really good though.

I like the sprites and all animation's but the gamplay is a bit too simple.

This is messed-up in a good, let's go hardcore on the theme kind of way. Great graphics too, really! And weirdly fun?

I really like the graphics and mood. For me the idea is right onto the theme.
However, it's a bit hard to not get hurt and the white flash quickly becomes an eyesore.

I like your simplistic game mechanics, as well as your artstyle, altough sometimes the weather effects got too much. All in all very nice game.

The graphics and the special effects were awesome. I like the scoreboard aswell! :)

Looks great and it's well polished but the gameplay isn't fun. Also my screen flickers white now and then, not sure if this is an intentional lightning effect but it was quite disorientating. Wonderful look and feel though.

Fun idea and cool graphics and sounds! The game got a bit laggy after a whilel (Firefox 39).

Made it only to wave 5 after several tries :-(
